Now able to burn rubber: After losing her right foreleg in an accident, Schildi the turtle couldn't move around at her home in Neuried, Germany. So an enterprising vet named Marcellus Burkle took a piece from his daughter's LEGO collection and glued it to Schildi's shell. The original prosthesis had a double wheel, which proved difficult for cornering. He replaced it with a single wheel, and now Schildi can peel out and do doughnuts.
